I read this one a couple of weeks ago. I love that Dini has been able to consistently deliver the kind of classic Batman stories in the continuity laden comics as he was able to in the animated series. The books are just plain fun to read. It's too bad that his run on Detective seems to be overshadowed by all of the crossover stunts and events going on in the other titles.

Sam, I read Ultimate: Origins this weekend and while it was mostly filled with decent stories, the Wolverine origin left me saying "wtf?". They turned him into a mutant using some variation of the super-soldier serum. Just the act of mutating Logan caused an 'epidemic' of mutant births around the globe or is the runt supposed to be the father of every mutant character in the Ultimate universe?
